From the early 1890s, he exhibited extensively in London Galleries including Royal Academy, Fine Art Society, Royal Water Colour Society (President late 1940s), Leicester and Lefevre galleries, Royal Institute of Oil Painters, Royal Society of Painter-Etchers, Goupil and Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. During the World War I served with the Artists' Rifles. British Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum hold his work, as do British provincial galleries and galleries abroad such as Budapest and Vienna.
He lived in France for a time and produced a body of work of French villages and Breton peasants. Lee-Hankey is notable for his paintings of French harbour scenes and Breton peasants, as well as paintings and etchings of English country life. He won a gold medal at the Barcelona International Exhibition and a bronze medal in Chicago, was a vice president of the RWS in the late 1940s and chairman of the Empire Art Council.
The artist is noted for his scenes of French harbours and English country life; chairman of the Empire Arts Council; married the artist Mabel Lee-Hankey, née Hobson. His work is held by the Victoria and Albert Museum, and provincial galleries including Aberdeen, Sheffield, Oldham, Nottingham and Glasgow. In 1912, he and Nelson Dawson founded a school of color printmaking in Hammersmith, using etching and aquatint.
Lee-Hankey studied art in the evenings at the Chester School of Art (now the Department of Art and Design at University of Chester), then at the Royal College of Art. Later in Paris he became influenced by the work of Jules Bastien-Lepage, who also favoured rustic scenes depicted in a realistic but sentimental style. He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1896 and was President of the London Sketch Club from 1902 to 1904. He stayed in France in the early 1900s, painting many of his works in Brittany and Normandy, where he depicted a peasant lifestyle which was already disappearing in England. From 1904 until well after World War I he maintained a studio at the Étaples art colony. In Britain he had been associated with the Newlyn School, a group of English artists based in Cornwall.
Writing about Lee-Hankey in The Studio (Vol. XXXVI, No. 154, Jan. 1906) A. L. Baldry commented that “He is in his water-colours an absolute purist; he paints entirely with transparent pigments, and never has recourse to opaque colours; his brushwork is broad and confident – free, on the one hand, from affectation of showy cleverness, and, on the other, from niggling minuteness or over-elaboration; and he does not insist, as is the fashion with many present-day painters, upon lowness of tone.”
